Agenda Introduction Why is Data publishing important ? Ongoing Work Role of Semantics

Introduction Knowledge, as published through

scientific literature, is the last step in a process originating from primary scientific data

Little or no data associated with publications is released

Some organizations require data publicto be released as a part of their funding policy

value Cross Linking between publications and

data products
